Description

We're proud to partner with Bengineering Labs to bring you this awesome life saver! Quickly know whether your quad has a short, and protect it from certain peril. By plugging this in between your battery and your quad, you can limit the current getting to your quad. If the LED is on, there is no short. If the LED is faded, blinking, or off, then there is a short and you should check your quad. This is a great tool, but we recommend you pair it with the use of a multimeter to check for shorts to be sure you are not going to toast your precious goods!

The RDQ Smoke Stopper uses a Resettable fuse (PPTC). Connectors are high quality Amass XT60's.

Be sure to check out our tools & building supplies!

 Specifications

  • XT30
  • 1-5s capable (24v Max)
  • 1.1A Hold Current, 2.2A Trip Current
  • 0.5S Trip time

Includes

  • 1x Smoke Stopper (XT30) by RDQ and BengineeringLabs - Modern LED

Usage

Plug the Solid State Smoke Inhibitor between the battery and the device.

  • Green led on, OK.
  • Green led dim or blinking, Fuse tripped.
  • Green led off, Shorted.

To reset the Solid State Smoke Inhibitor, unplug for 10 seconds.

Note: Solid State Smoke Inhibitor/ Lightbulbs / Fuses / Circuit breakers are not 100% foolproof way of keeping the magic smoke in. It’s always best to use in conjunction with a multimeter. This is NOT an end all be all kind of protection. Nothing is. It is best at protecting against a soldering short. If you wire something wrong, it will likely still blow (ie apply 16v to a 5v system). This is a failsafe, one that will probably help you but may not depending on the kind of error you make. Double check wiring schematics, check your gear with a multimeter, and lastly use a Smoke Stopper. Do not wire things up randomly and hope a Smoke Stopper will save you - that's a bold move Cotton!

Didn’t Work!

"The smoke stopper did not work! I used it on an all in one esc that costs 116 dollars and now I have to buy a new one! It just let current run through and blew the esc. It can never be used again. How frustrating!"

Smoke Maker!

"What a joke...I tried this out prior to testing my actual quad and it started sputtering and smoking and completely fried. This was with a 5S battery. I feel safer with a homemade light bulb version."

Little device give a peace of mind

"Used it for build. After soldering motors into ESC and ESC to FC, the smoke stopper will protect burn the board if there is a bridge or bad soldering or something wrong ... plug this between battery and power adapter, if green light, everything ok, if red, something is wrong. love it"

Q&A

If this is permanently used on your drone will it save your drone from water damage?
It only allows a certain amount of power through, so you wouldn't even be able to arm the quad with this permanently installed. Happy flying!
